Smile

How you doing everybody hope you had a nice day

Sometimes I feel all alone

Sometimes I can't get away

I feel my life is in danger every night when I lay

So could you do me a favor, smile for me?

I know they wanna see me fall I know the fraudulent I know

I know they hoping that it's right back to the ghettos I go

I know my pigment is not that of a businessmen

I know they think I'm ignorant I'm fucking up my privilege

I know that money come and go so money not my motive no mo'

I made enough to know I'll never make enough for my soul

I turned my back on my friends

I turned my back on my home

I left the street where I've grown

To chase the yellow brick road

I heard they paved it with gold I turned around and seen they pissed on it

Just like me

But that's alright because my soul burning please set me free

I hope to see you in another life times mines just not for me

Can't you see?

Every night up on my knees I pray

Smile for me

That everything will change and be ok

Smile for me

Maybe I'll stay maybe I'll pass away

Smile for me

I'm holding on to what the pastor say

Smile for me

Smile for me

Smile for me

Smile for me

Smile for me

Cause when life gets hard

And you just think

You wanna end it all

Smile for me

When life gets hard

And you can't breathe

You wanna end it all

Smile for me

Smile for me

How you doing everybody hope you had a nice day

Sometimes I feel all alone

Sometimes I can't get away

I feel my life is in danger every night when I pray

So could you do me a favor, smile for me?

I don't love you, you don't love me, we should give it up

Wish I felt your body without me getting my feeling's touched

People tell me I'm too young and I should live it up

How could you not feel that? These freaks wanna give it up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Don't say you feel my pain cause I don't even feel myself

Blood rushing through my brain, sometimes I wanna kill myself

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Motion of the ocean waves capsize me, baptize my frame

Salt water inside my wounds, still don't know who to blame

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up

Sometimes I feel like giving up
